Ribbed Strip Styles
More Information
Why use ribbed strip curtains? Ribbed PVC strip curtains significantly reduce scratching caused by goods and equipment passing through the opening. The raised ridges absorb the friction, leaving the flat portion of the strip clear and easy to see through. This makes them ideal for busy warehouse doorways across the UK and Ireland.
Are ribbed strip curtains suitable for pedestrian traffic? Ribbed strip curtains are primarily designed for motorised traffic such as forklifts and pallet trucks, with occasional foot traffic. The additional material in the ribs makes each strip heavier than standard flat PVC, so they are best suited to environments where vehicles pass through regularly.
Are ribbed strips more expensive than standard? Yes, ribbed strips typically cost around 15% more than a standard flat strip. However, the longer service life in high-traffic environments means they often represent better value over time, particularly in distribution centres and manufacturing facilities.
Are ribbed strips difficult to fit? Not at all. Like standard flat strips, ribbed PVC strips are straightforward to install and require no specialist tools. Simply position the strips over the studded mounting hardware and secure with the provided nut and washer. Most fitters complete an installation within 30 minutes.
Where are ribbed strip curtains commonly used in the UK? We supply ribbed strip curtains to a wide range of sectors including food processing plants, cold storage facilities, pharmaceutical warehouses, and logistics hubs. They are particularly popular at loading bay openings where forklift traffic is constant and visibility must be maintained for safety compliance under HSE guidelines.
